Chapter 1030 Celebration (2/2)

did, it would chase after you until one of you is dead.

Because the honey badger had very little meat on its bones and liked to eat poisonous

snakes, people were afraid that it might have residual poison in its body, so they did not

dare to hunt it for food.

That was the reason why this species was not wiped out despite its bad temper.

The house was built very quickly. After they broke it down, they put the boards into the

ground and the soil and gravel over them.

After years of construction and use, there was little sand and stone around the Gibra

tribe, and there was nothing but mud to use for making the main body of the wall.

The house made in this way was not very strong, but at least it was some sort of

shelter.

Listening to Buick's gloomy discussions with some tribesmen, Brother Wolf pointed to

the plastic bottle on the floor and said, ”Why don't you use this?”

”What?” Buick looked puzzled.

Brother Wolf went to pick up a Coke bottle, filled it with mud, tightened the lid, put the

bottle into the wooden wall and said, ”Isn't this more useful than sand?”

After looking at the plastic bottle embedded in the wall with a stunned expression for a

few seconds, Buick gave a hard tap on his thigh and exclaimed, ”This is really a

wonderful idea! Damn it, why didn't we think of that?”

This opened up new ideas for them. The tribe communicated with the outside world

frequently. Every family had plastic bottles, which could be filled with mud and water

and used as the main body of the wall. It was much better than sand.

Even though they didn't have enough bottles, plastic was cheap and light. They could

go to a junk shop and buy it, and for their tribe, it would be inexhaustible.

Li Du did not think plastic bottles could be so useful. He praised brother Wolf. Brother

Wolf smiled and said, ”I did not think of it all by myself. During our course, we were

taught to use plastic bottles filled with sand as building blocks.”

Seeing this happy scene, Scotty, who had been watching coldly, snorted and said

contemptuously, ”Useless little smart act.”

The young black man Charlie stuck his neck out and said, ”Hey, why won't you be smart

too?”

Scotty said proudly, ”I need wisdom, not little tricks. The tribe houses are long overdue.

If only we had the money, we could build a house like in Johannesburg!”

Sophie shook her head and quipped, ”That's no good, handsome man. The foundation

of the house is made of soil. Once it rains, it will quickly become soft and its bearing

capacity will be poor. A big building might collapse even it does not rain.”

Scotty started. ”Ha, you know so much, don't you?”

Sophie shrugged and said, ”I got a double Bachelor's degree in college, and one of my

degrees was in architecture, so I do know a lot about it.”

Charlie shook his head at Scotty and smiled. ”Wow, so you went to college? Scotty

never went to school, not even a day.”

Scotty shouted angrily, ”Get out of here, Charlie!”

The combined strength of many people had good results. After half a day of hard work,

eight houses were built.

The next day was the celebration that Buick had mentioned. Li Du thought they were

planning to hold an activity again. As a result, Buick led the strong men in the tribe to

get ready for hunting.

They were going to hunt unusual prey. It was pythons!

After hearing this, Li Du did not know how to express his surprise. He asked, ”So will

you catch and stew the pythons in honor of your celebration?”

Buick smiled and said, ”No, not stew. You'll find out.”

Pythons hid in underground burrows except for the time when they came out to hunt, so

catching them was difficult. Hunters of the Gibra tribe had to carefully search for traces

left on the ground and follow the trail to the pythons' burrows.
